ᐅ Switch for roller shutters at the window or the door?

We are installing the switches by the door. This means one additional switch per room. Unless you want to control windows separately—if there are multiple windows per room or an additional patio door.

We installed it centrally by the door and are glad we did! Running around opening and closing all the windows every time would drive you crazy.

And to make it even faster throughout the house, we use the Somfy smartphone app.

Do you need to specify anything about motors or switches in the tender regarding the Somfy system, or how does it work exactly? How do these devices communicate?

Somfy supports both wireless and wired options. Somfy offers its own wireless motors (io technology). There are also wireless remote controls available from Somfy. In addition, there is a central unit called the Tahoma Box, as well as sensors like wind and sunlight sensors, which can communicate with each other via the Box.

Unfortunately, we don’t have the app because the Somfy RTS system is installed. But I can live with that.

It will probably come down to a switch by the door for us. Possibly also one in the living room for each of the two double windows, so they can be controlled separately.

I find both options terrible. We also partially do without light switches. "BUS" is the magic word.
